NASA's Chilling Visualizations Reveal Alarming Effects of Climate Change on Earth's Seas and Atmosphere.

NASA has released a data visualization showing the rise in sea levels over the past 30 years, which has been captured by satellites. The animation, created by Andrew J. Christensen, transforms the complex data into a relatable visual, showing how sea levels have risen by over 9 centimeters (about 3.5 inches) in that time. The visualization is designed to be seen through a circle, using the visual metaphor of looking out the porthole of a boat and watching years of sea level rise transpire. The animation is part of a series called 'Vital Signs of the Planet', which includes carbon dioxide, global temperature, methane levels, ice sheet melting, and Arctic sea ice extent.
